What to do when it snows... heh... get a couple of 50 lb bags of sand and put them in your trunk close to the wheels, buy a small snow shovel and leave it in the rear seat, get a case of beer and a cheesesteak and sit at home eating the cheesesteak and drinking the beer, thinking about how great it is that you'll never find out how hard it is to drive that thing in snow.

Seriously? The weight over the wheel wells is a good idea, so is the shovel. Make sure your tires have good treads (invest in snow tires, they make them for a reason - not to be a smart ass) and go out and practice driving in the snow. The shovel will save your ass... make sure you buy something decent that'll stand up to some heavy use. Also make sure your cell phone works, you're wearing warm clothes (shovelling you car out of a bank of snow SUCKS) and you might want to invest in a nylon tow strap (I've used mine to help a bunch of people out).

Momentum and control are the key to driving in the snow, you need to practice to get good at it, just make sure you're prepared if something goes wrong, and try to practice someplace where if you get out of control no-one will get hurt.

--- Whenever it snows around here I'm out getting sideways in my truck. I've gotten stuck a buunch of times, and only ONCE did I ever need help... but that was when my truck sunk through 4 feet of snow on top of a mountain... spend the night in my truck... (thank God for cigarettes, tasty cakes and coca-cola.)
